Sending Off Changed The Game Said Telford Manager


Royle Sees Red
 The red card given to Telford midfielder Jon Royle for a late lunge on Pablo Haysham probably was turning point of this afternoon's FA Cup game at Edgar Street.

Afterwards Telford manager Rob Edwards spoke to the Shropshire Star.

"The sending off changed the complexion of the game," said Edwards.


"I don't think we started the second half particularly well, but I didn't think they were the better team at that point.


"It lifted the crowd and obviously they had the numerical advantage, and they got the goal - the all-important breakthrough.


"I thought in the first half we were excellent, the better team. We played some really good football and had some excellent chances.


"We didn't take those chances. Football is ultimately about scoring goals - they did, we didn't. I'm incredibly frustrated.

"There was some good performances but Cup football is about winning, and we didn't do that."
